Chapter 107: Grass and Trees Deep (1)
On March 3, the Flower Dynasty Festival, the flowers are in full bloom, so lively!
Because of Yuyao's appointment, Shu Yao got up early in the morning to comb her makeup, put a string of beaded flowers in her hair, and a camellia that Liu's mother had poured in the water the night before, wore a pair of earrings on her ears, and a string of jade beads on her neck.
Let's go to Gantang Courtyard first, and a few people gather before they can set off together. On the way to Gantang Courtyard, Shu Jiao was always looking forward to it, maybe Shen Junzhuo could take a day off today and meet her in Gantang Courtyard? Even if it's just a glance from afar!
It's a pity that it backfired, and asked Xiyue, who said that today's Flower Dynasty Festival, the general needs to arrange the defense of the Beijing division early, and he hasn't seen anyone else for a few days. Shu Yao was a little discouraged, and she was depressed about this.
Yu Yao prepared colored silk and red paper early, distributed them to her, Yu Wen and others, and said with a smile:
"Look, the paper-cutting skills we practiced years ago came in handy! I can't do it, I'm so clumsy, I'll see you in a while! ”
Shu Yao was holding something in her hand, and for some reason, Yu Wen said to her:
"It's hung on a tree, it's called 'Viewing Red', and you'll understand it when you look at it in a while. Look at her like that, in my opinion, none of us will help her for a while, let her always point at us! ”
It's Yu Yao, Yu Yao listened to where she was willing to follow, and when she came up, she was about to grab Yu Wen's armpit, and the two made a mess, Shu Yao sat on the side and looked at them with a smile, envying them for being so carefree.
The Flower Dynasty Festival didn't have to go out too early, and several people made trouble in the Gantang Courtyard until the hour before saying goodbye to Mrs. Yu. This time I went out like the Lantern Festival, and Mrs. Jiang did not arrange for Jia's mother to follow, only a few second-class mothers-in-law and their maids, and there were still three cars, carrying five girls to the Yinyue River leisurely.
When they arrived at the place, when the carriage stopped, a woman came forward to open the curtain and said respectfully:
"Ladies, please!"
Shu Yao, Yu Yao, and Yu Wen came out of the carriage in turn, and when they appeared, they were stunned by the grand scene in front of them.
The weather is fine, the breeze is blowing, the Yinyue River is very wide, the water above is sparkling and shining, and the weeping willows on both sides of the bank are rippling with soft branches, a tender green.
Looking further to the shore, it is even more shocking, full of flowers, red, pink, purple, yellow, blue...... A variety of colors, can be described as purple and red, competing for beauty. Some of them are flowers and branches that grow on the banks of the Yinyue River, and some are potted plants and freshly picked flower heads brought by vendors. It turns out that there are women on one side of the river, and men on the other side of the river, so there is no need to worry about someone coming to offend them.
Shu Yao followed Yu Yao and Yu Wen down from the carriage, and instantly felt that she was already in a sea of flowers, surrounded by flowers full of blooms, huddled together, leaving only a narrow road. There are many people, all of them are young ladies dressed up, and everyone is more beautiful than flowers. This grand scene, as Yu Yao said, is an eye-opener.
Yu Yao came over and took Shu Yao's hand, and said with a smile:
"Last Lantern Festival, if I had been following you closely, I wouldn't have caused a misunderstanding later. I'm going to follow you this time, who let you come out of my invitation, if anything happens, my sister-in-law will definitely eat me alive! ”
Shu Yao smiled, shook her hand, and said:
"With you, I'm not afraid of anything!"
The two talked and laughed and walked forward, and when they met a certain young lady, Yu Yao introduced to Shu Yao which lady this was, and which grandmother in which house. Suddenly, seeing that everyone in front of him was lined up, Shu Yao wondered, but Yu Yao said:
"Look at the two of you, you're going to worship the god of flowers! Let's go, let's go to the queue too. ”
